Where's Senate Judiciary?
This was my view from our 'kitchen' table at lunch today. Spruce trees, the white tip of Mr. Roberts, and wires. But it makes you think it's really warm out. And in the sun it is. But in the shade the sidewalks are icy.
I went through the list of committees meeting this afternoon and decided on the Senate Judiciary because it they were discussing HJR (House Joint Resolution) 21, the Constitutional Amendment to increase the size of the legislature. I'd heard the discussion in House State Affairs, and since this is a resolution (it's a resolution, not a bill, because it's a Constitutional Amendment) that would have a major impact on the state, I thought it worth following.

I got into the committee room, but I was the only one there. It took a while for me to see the 'cancelled' notice on the computer. The guard wasn't sure, but did say the airport had been closed. And this being Monday, some legislators were gone for the weekend.
And despite the blue skies higher up, along the Gastineau Channel, the fog gathers at night and closes the airport. That could have a bigger impact on me tomorrow when I drop J off at the airport for her week trip to Anchorage to help her friend C who had surgery recently. She has an afternoon flight, maybe it will be clear by then.
Update 3:30: This one didn't meet either. The Senate Floor session, I'm told, did meet, but not the House Floor session. It's sunny and beautiful up here in the Capitol, but the fog looks thick down in the Channel.
